Inclusive Workplace Culture Capstone – D436

For AFS to make a true paradigm shift to meaningful and sustainable diversity, equity, and inclusion, you are tasked with creating and leading a specific culture change. This change management plan will require multiple steps (e.g., analysis, choice of solution) and a strong business case to convince stakeholder groups (i.e., board of directors and senior leadership) of the soundness of the chosen approach and its importance to the company’s future.

Professional Communication will be automatically assessed through Grammarly for Education in most performance assessments before a student submits work for evaluation.
